Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Exmouth?
The conveyancing process mainly involves three steps, which are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
Once an offer is ready to be given the go-ahead, both the buyer and seller agree to form a contract. Until this contract is mutually signed and swapped, there's no legal obligation.
The buyer, with their lawyer, will perform different inspections on the property. Some of the types of inspection that could be conducted include:
- Reviewing property information provided by the seller and making further enquiries if necessary (done by the conveyancing solicitor)
- Conducting conveyancing property searches, such as local authority checks (done by the conveyancing solicitor)
- Carrying out an independent survey (arranged by the buyer)
The buyer may apply for their mortgage at this point, if required.
After all the property inspections are done and both parties agree to move forward, contracts will be signed and swapped. The transaction then becomes legally enforceable, with financial penalties for withdrawal.
The transaction is final upon completion. A transfer deed is sent to HM Land Registry and the seller must vacate the property.
How long does conveyancing take in Exmouth?
Every property transaction comes with its own circumstances and potential issues, so it is not always possible to provide an exact timeline for completion. Typically, most simple property transactions last around 12-14 weeks starting from the day the offer is agreed upon and the solicitors are instructed.
That said, delays may sometimes occur. If your property deal seems likely to take longer to get over the line, your solicitor will keep you informed in a timely manner.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Exmouth?
When buying a property in Exmouth, your conveyancer will need to carry out a number of checks in order to make sure there are no issues that need addressing.
The three main sorts of conveyancing checks consist of:
- Local authority checks – to check the surrounding area for planning, pollution, highways or other related issues
- Environmental searches – to check for issues such as flooding or land contamination
- Water and drainage searches – to check matters such as water and drainage access
Your solicitor will inform you if further checks are required.
Is it better to use a conveyancing solicitor or a conveyancer for property in Exmouth?
The difference between a conveyancing solicitors’ firm or a licensed conveyancer may not seem immediately obvious to the average property buyer or seller. Both are qualified for handling property transactions. Neither is necessarily superior, but there can be benefits in opting for a professional firm of solicitors.
A solicitors’ firm will generally possess knowledge and information across areas beyond just property transactions, including areas like Wills and inheritance, rights of unwed couples regarding property, and dispute resolution. Therefore, teaming up with solicitors can bring added confidence that the necessary expertise is available, regardless of the issue that requires assistance.
What documents does a property solicitor need for conveyancing in Exmouth?
A number of documents may be required during the residential conveyancing process, depending on whether the property is being bought or sold.
When purchasing a property in Exmouth, some of the documents that may be required include:
- Identification (e.g. passport or driving licence)
- Proof of address
- Proof of funds (such as bank statements)
- The official offer of mortgage
When selling a property, documents may include:
- Proof of ownership
- Seller’s Property Information Form
- Certificates, guarantees and planning permission documentation
- Fitting and contents form
- Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
- Leasehold or freehold information
